Sellers was probably wearing lifts because he was only an inch taller than Ringo in the Magic Christain. George looked at least four inches taller than Ringo.

I've seen hundreds of photo's of the Beatles at different angles with them all wearing various footwear including higher heels sometimes. I'm pretty sure that John, Paul and George were all very close in height judging by the photo's. Yoko Ono apparantly measured John Lennon at 5'10", which would almost certainly make Paul and George about the same. At least when the band was still together anyway.

Martyr says on 26/Dec/11
His passeports stated 5'10 and 5'10.5, but I always thought he was closer to 5'9.5... He looked less than an inch taller than Peter Sellers.

joker says on 10/Dec/11
5.5 was tall for a women at that time.

George was much taller than Patti. She was only like 5'5.

Bijou says on 20/Nov/11
In a 1960's magazine interview Pattie Boyd said she was 5'7" and in some pictures of her standing next to George appears to be almost the same height as him (with the allowance of heels), so I would put George at 5'10"

@Claire

Those cards shows their height in their beatle boots.

Claire says on 17/Nov/11
I read on this picture of some Beatle fact cards that George, John and Paul were all 5'11" and Ringo was 5'8" this was about.... 1963 ? Maybe 64.

Also, they were at the beach where the surface is not exactly flat.

Linda says on 4/Nov/11
And may I add that I'm 5'6 1/2 also and a person that is 5'10 is close to my eye level, so it is easy to think they are shorter than they really are.

Linda says on 4/Nov/11
George had to be at least 5 10", on a video of him standing next to Lyndon B. Johnson (former president) who is 6' 3" (at least), George appeared only to be a bout 4 or 5 inches shorter than him.

joker says on 2/Nov/11
George towers over 5.35 Madonna and 5.6 Sean Penn --- I truly believe 5.825 is too much for Penn on the web site. I've seen him in person and he was short.

@WH

I don't know when you bumped into him, but he may have lost a bit of height with age, and being weak with cancer may have also given him the appearance of being slightly smaller. Perhaps you were wearing thick heels that day and he was in flip-flops? But there's no way George was 5'7 in his prime. AT LEAST 5'9, maybe up to 5'10.

mike says on 6/Jul/11
@WH

George's frame suggests at least 5.9.

@WH

You don't know it's him. He's not very tall. About average height. If you look at the Traveling Wilburys video, you'll see he's taller than Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison. 5.6.5 is too low for him.

Please answer me Rob. I am not sure that Geore was 5'10''. To me he seemed more like 5'9''. Do you think George really was a full 5'10''?

Thanks.

Nicc says on 30/Jun/11
@mike, thank you very much! Now I saw that George is leaning! It all makes sense now ;)

mcfan says on 29/Jun/11
George Harrison was 5'9.5 with a slouch...not as bad as Lennon's but not good either.

My ex-husband and I went to Maui once and we drove over to the other side of the island to Hana. We stopped at a rather isolated road side stand to get a cold drink. A small group of people were waiting there also. There was an attractive middle-aged woman in a kind of fur bikini, and next to her, standing a foot away from me was a middle-aged man with longish dark, graying hair and beard and mustach. His eyes contained an expression that is hard to describe, like a combination of world weariness, spirituality and wisdom. He seemed close to my height, thin and small boned (I am only 5'6-1/2"). I smiled at him and was shocked to realize that this was indeed George Harrison! It was hard to believe that there he was standing about a foot away. I sensed that it would be better to respect his privacy and treat him as I would a regular person and not a famous person. I found out many years later that he and his wife were living on that island on their estate, where he spent most of his final years before he passed away. I later read and learned also that during that time he really was seeking peace in his life away from the limelight and fans. I am very glad I chose to just let him be and not say anything. I was slightly surprised to realized he really wasn't very tall, although I had never thought about how tall any of the band was, they just seemed taller for some reason.

@Nicc

George is also not standing straight. He was leaning on the wall as mcfan stated.

mike says on 28/Jun/11
@Nicc

Can't really tell because Marley could be on platform shoes.

mcfan says on 26/Jun/11
I think George might be sitting on something perhaps a radiator or is leaned against the wall in that Bob Marley photo.

Nicc says on 10/Jun/11
Can somebody tell me something about this picutre ? Click Here ? Why does Bob looks taller than Georgi Harrison? I've seen Bob being listed from 5'4'' to 5'7'' but never above ? Can somebody explain it ?

I don´t understand how people can think George were the tallest. He was roughly 5'10'', John 5'10.25 and Paul 5'10½''.

anon says on 14/Feb/11
Based on various photos I think George was the tallest Beatle by a tiny fraction. I happened upon this site because I noticed in the iTunes posters that are EVERYWHERE they moved George down closer to Paul, and in doing so made him look much shorter than Paul. In reality he was either the same height or a fraction of an inch taller.

Linda says on 29/Jan/11
I met George in 1964. He was 180-181 cm tall.

Anonymous says on 28/Jan/11
He was 180-181 cm, when I saw him in 1964. That was his peak height, maybe he grew a little after 21.

Stephen says on 8/Jan/11
George was the tallest Beatle by one cm. That's what it said in or on (fail to remember) a pack of "The Beatles Bubble Gum" in the 1960's.

@TikTok

George is taller than Tom Petty (5.8.5)

TikTok says on 3/Jan/11
There's a lot of delusional commenting on this board. Having stood next to GH, suffice it to say that GH, is not tall at all. 5'8"-ish.
The wish to make your celebrities heroes in your own mind is always good for adding an extra 3-4 inches to any of them.

No wy George was shorter than "5'10" Paul McCartney, I saw a photo where George is noticeably taller than Paul.

me says on 20/Dec/10
@Nina

George was shorter than both John and Paul. He only looked taller because he was very skinny.

me says on 19/Dec/10
I think John and Paul are about the same height. They sometimes looks taller than the other, but only marginally. I watched Magical Mystery Tour and John was the tallest in that. They were the same height in "Your Mother Should Know" with George .5 inch shorter than the other 2 and Ringo was 3 inches shorter. John only looks shorter because he had a big head and a long neck.

Russ says on 13/Dec/10
Paul: Paul was the tallest. Haven't you noticed that already?? Millions of his fans have.

Nina says on 11/Dec/10
I looked at alot of pictures and George is taller than Paul,John and Ringo! He has to be at least 5'11 because he always looked taller. Ringo is 5'8 short (and he has a big nose, no offense) John is in the middle because Paul is a little taller than John (in the song Hey Bulldog) and in all their movies including 'A Hard Day's Night', George was about 2 inches taller. John and George are my 2 favorite Beatles (I don't know why). George Harrison looks alot like my teacher BTW.

Victor66 says on 26/Nov/10
George Harrison by various persons who knew and met him in different occasions
was really 177 cm. (the same that Paul and John. All of them, a bit more that 175, and less that 180.)
less than 180.)

Anonymous says on 6/Nov/10
any one with eyes can tell paul and john were about the same,with thr nod going to paul and george is a little shorter

AD says on 4/Nov/10
Paul was most definately 177cm in youth, maybe 176cm by now ...he hasn't lost much height. Was exactly 5'9.5" when I met him aged 43, George always looked practically the same height but I'd say about a centimeter less
Click Here
I'd say the most accurate height to have given George would be 5'9.5" (176cm)

@Dill Pickle

McCsrtney himself stated him and John were 5.10.5. They were prolly 5.9.5 though.
